How To Break Into A BMW That Is Locked And Has A Dead Battery !!!
[Music]
all right
so let's give you a scenario battery's
dead in your BMW can't get into it most
is older BMWs ki-46 e39 he 53 even he 85
e 83 so on a 90 most of them have
different keys and maybe key don't work
maybe your locks messed up where he
can't get into the trunk whatever the
case may be we don't know I want to show
you today how to get in your BMW was
only to certain tools we're seeing here
I need it's a pair of jumper cables that
pretty much goes without saying or a
battery charge will work also so we're
gonna need that we're gonna need a piece
of wire such as like this needs to be a
little bit on the heavy side this is
that was this 12 gauge probably maybe
even 14 needs at least be that so let's
give a scenario here two different
scenarios one is you just seen a jumper
BMW maybe you have the hood open
you probably don't if you're having
problems getting out lock it probably
isn't open but just in case it is I'll
show you where the terminals are on
these different cars okay so on a 33 on
six-cylinder and v8 there is a charge
terminal up here that's put the positive
obviously on the negative there is a
terminal right here and we're at the
driver's side fender right next to a
filter housing this guy right there you
clamp your your jumper cables on those
so negative and positive that's what the
hoods open but let's say that the hoods
stuck shut what are you gonna do that so
assuming your skid your plastic skid
plate is off which it should be if not
you're probably asking for a blown
engine you get a drip of that plastic
skid plate and you can't see what's
leaking or what's going on and for you
know it
you're ready a big problem so what we're
gonna do we're gonna reach your arm up
from under the driver's side so a fifty
three you don't have to jack it out
there's enough room to get up there and
get to it we're gonna try to locate the
alternator which is only fifty three the
alternator is right there there's on the
bottom of the engine that makes this a
little bit easier so I'll try to get you
down in there and show you you can see
right where does it go here oh this is
actually unplugged that's pretty sweet
there is a terminal that is on the front
of the alternator plugged it back in so
we have the main plug which is right
there this is the water-cooled
alternator right down below it I don't
know if I get you in there or not right
below it you see that none and how this
works is that nut is should this be a
plastic cap it depends on if it's been
taken off or not but that is where
you're gonna want to put your jumper
cable lead now you calhfa's a camp
probably more likely I can't reach the
jumper cables and cells up in there so
what you're gonna do you're gonna clamp
your piece of wire in one side of your
jumper cable that's gonna leave you a
hot end and you don't want to strip it
back for you far because you won't be
hitting stuff when you're putting it up
in there alright that's gonna give you a
hot in to go up there and touch that up
there now you're negative you could put
that anywhere you clamp that just on any
control arm underneath you clamp it just
am there anywhere you want that's metal
and once you touch this on to the
alternator bolt that's gonna power the
car up now that'll let you get in the
car or give you enough power to unlock
it or pop the hood and then you could
get the hood open or the hatch open you
can charge it correctly that was on VA e
53 so 4.4 liter
now II for t6 which is what this is
within 54
has the terminal on the passenger side
so if we're going to go ahead and jump
this you need to go to the passenger
side right there and that's your
positive and then over here in this
little box is your negative terminal so
that's how you charged him under the
hood now we remind you it's probably
almost always best to charge a car from
the rear from the battery and the trunk
or the battery in the hatch however that
being said we all know that you guys
that have East 73-53 the battery is not
that easy to get to so a lot of guys do
it up here now on this car you should
already have the skid plate gone if you
don't you guys know I feel about that
saying gets the dripping something you
won't see it especially coolant before
you know it you're out of cooling you're
melting your engine down if you have
that off your the driver side e46 you
might have to jack it up a little bit
depends on how long your arms are and
it's a little hard to see up here the
alternator is right here right under the
power steering box so this one you have
to be kind of double-jointed you can see
right there is a terminal but you can
definitely reach him behind the Spanish
uh tank reaching up there with the lead
touch it on there if he has somebody
else or your key fob in your other hand
then he can unlock the car and get in
and then of course be thirty-nine with a
six cylinder you could do the same way
as this car he could reach up or
anything and do it
the e39 or a 38 so 540 or 740 is going
to have the same not the same but a
similar type alternator to the e 50
through readers shows basically the same
way some of the depends on what year
I think it's pre 2001 540 and 740 had a
different alternator but it's the same
premise it's probably a good idea even
though you guys probably won't look at
your car before you have the problem
locate the terminal so if you ever lock
your car and you leave for a month or
two this how this happens let's say you
lock the car
and you live in a different city or you
the cars in storage over the winter you
click it locked and it sits there and
the battery goes dead pretty much any
BMW I've ever had if it sits for more
than a week the battery is dead or
really low just the way a BMW is most
cars are like that so be prepared for
that this is not that uncommon of a
problem I'll link here at the end of the
video somewhere up here one of the
corners I have a video where to buy the
$48 BMW batteries instead of spending
one hundred fifty two hundred dollars on
them but that's it guys that's the
charging points on these vehicles you
know e 90 is the same way you could
actually get to that from the driver
side from underneath but you're gonna
have to pull that stupid great big huge
giant skid plate off or at least let the
front of it down you know see you can
reach it up or anything and get to it
that's it guys that's how you unlock
your keys or unlock your BMW with the
dead battery thanks for watching
